Two Southeast Sales from Senior Living Investment Brokerage

Two Southeast Sales from Senior Living Investment Brokerage

Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage showed his strength in the Southeast, closing two transactions in Georgia and Florida.

The purpose-built community is currently 81% occupied, and working towards stabilization. Since it’s still in lease-up, it was offered at a slightly discounted price per unit, selling for $11 million, or $171,875 per unit. New... Read More »
